Also the street redeveloped to have the metro station of Noord Zuidijn. Constructed in 1663- 1664 for Cort Siveren Adelaer, who was appointed as general admiral of Denmark. The monument was built with three sections, voorhuis (front house), binnenplaats (courtyard) and achterhuis (backhouse). The renovated intends to relink the voorhuis and achterhuis, crafting a beautiful transition between the two spaces. This transition and lower floors will be converted into a new tea shop, with the higher floors being transformed into updated residential units.
